Interesting cover art... fighting evil Islamists with the power of the naked male form.

Amazing review for an amazing album. THe best thrash album of the last 5 to 10 years, and I am not exaggerating at all. This is how thrash should be done, I myself would of probably gave it a 90, but 88 is not that much different.

The best part about this is that these guys have been gone from the metal world for 22 years, and yet they come back with this masterpiece of an album. From start to finish it destroys you in a way that only thrash can.

Will be in my #1 album of the year that's for sure. Sad thing is, nobody besides me, maybe voice, thomas, and thrashtilldeath will check this out.

Remember little girl what your mother told you, run faster faster.

How can you not like this, or not be sure if you like it? Sure not liking the retro thrash scene is one thing, but this album kicks all kinds of ass. This is At War the way At War should sound like.

Just because something thrashes, doesnt mean I will like it. Dont get me wrong I liked what I heard, but if it has the same problems as other old thrash acts putting out new albums then I shant be suprized.

Yeah, as you know I already own and enjoy the album.

But I think it must be said that I don't enjoy it quite as much as you, my friend. I think my score would be closer to 75, and love it though I do, that won't be enough to top my end of year list.

Really a very solid album, with plenty of aggression and skill. Made all the more impressive by the lengthy absence of the band, surely. But there has been some very good, dare I say, more inventive stuff coming from a couple of younger bands this year....

That's all I'll say for now!

I know it all comes down to opinion and taste, but I wholeheartedly disagree. No new young thrash band can even come close to the awesomeness that is At War - Infidel.

Tried it again, still boring. They should learn to write songs.

Just listened to this for the first time and I like it a lot. I don't know if I like it quite as much as some of you other guys, but definitely a solid album.

My first listen, and it's good. Really not boring, better than the new thrash bands, but inferior to latest Kreator, Megadave or Sacrifice.

I'd say better than Kreator, slightly better than Megadeth but worse than Sacrifice. That Sacrifice album is modern day classic. It really needs to be reviewed.
